‘Leo’: Audio launch of Vijay starrer cancelled due to ‘overflowing pass requests, safety concerns'

The audio launch of Thalapathy Vijay starrer ‘Leo’ has been cancelled. The producers took to social media to share that there were ‘overflowing pass requests and safety constraints’.

In their social media post, Seven Studio wrote late Tuesday, ‘Considering overflowing passes' requests & safety constraints, we have decided not to conduct the Leo Audio Launch. In respect of the fans' wishes, we will keep you engaged with frequent updates. P.S. As many would imagine, this is not due to political pressure or any other reasons.’

This cancellation comes weeks after a stampede-like situation was created at AR Rahman’s recent Chennai concert.

CEO of the multiplex chain AGS Cinemas Archana Kalapathi praised the move and responded to the cancellation with a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). She wrote, ‘It takes a lot of courage for @7screenstudio and @Jagadishbliss to take this call The safety of his fans will always come first for our #Thalapathy Let us celebrate every update from today Mark my words #Leo will have the biggest opening ever #WeStandWithLEO.’

‘Leo’, which also stars Sanjay Dutt, Trisha, and Arjun in leading roles, is set for a theatrical release on October 19.

The film also stars Keerthy Suresh, Misha Ghoshal, Mansoor Ali Khan, Sanjay, and Priya Anand. It has been shot in various locations including Kashmir and Chennai, apart from the US. ‘Leo’ has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Manoj Paramahamsa is the cinematographer, while the film is edited by Philomin Raj.
